A nuclear armed Iran will lead to a nuclear arms race throughout the ME. Egypt. Maybe Libya agin one day. Turkey for sure. Saudi Arabia anyway. Guld players - remaisn to be seen. Shia versus Sunni, Arabs versus Persians. On emillenia of open bills.
That explosive mixture will pay off badly for ALL THE WORLD, not just Israel.
Plus nuclear proliferation threats. Plus religion. Plus somewhat hysteric tempers and megalomania. Plus some nutheads even mistaking Armaggeddon for the return of the missing Mahdi (or the Messiah calling out Judgement Day).
Much worse a mixture than the cold war ever was - and even during that we were already simply
lucky at several occasions.
